Poverty makes me capable of anything.

He worried that the people who had exiled the empire might launch an attack along the way. Taking the old route was a bit longer, but it was safer.

"almost."

Not long after Keynes left.

Inside a giant warship from the Eternal Star Path.

Henrik, the star system overlord whose head looked like a catfish, hid in his room.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was not on him, he took out the miniature communicator embedded in his right arm.

With a light press of the left thumb, a virtual screen suddenly popped up.

Keynes, Charlize

After writing down two names, Henrik quickly crushed the communicator once the packaged data was sent out.

A smile appeared on his face.

"Our era will eventually return!"

"Boom!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"They're here, they're here."

Henrik hurried over.

Standing outside the door was a star field ruler who was on good terms with him.

He said, "What are you doing hiding in the house? Come out and have a match with me."

Henrik laughed heartily: "What's the rush? Let me change my clothes first."

"Okay, hurry up and come out after you change your clothes. Don't make excuses this time."

"Alright, just you wait."

Henrik shook his head and closed the door again.

He leaned against the door, his already large mouth stretching into an even more exaggerated grin.

Making friends through fists doesn't necessarily mean you'll make friends!

……

three days later.

"what!"

Virtual training ground.

Henrik forced the tall figure that was attacking him back with a single punch.

He was drenched in sweat, and his breathing became increasingly rapid.

"stop!"

Henrik shouted.

Let's call it a day.

"You can't do it like this." The Star Domain Overlord, who was sparring with Henrik, laughed heartily.

Henrik shook his head with a wry smile: "After all, I've only been a Star Domain Ruler for twenty years. How could I have progressed so quickly? I'm not a monster like Anran from the Cult of the Machine God."

"Hey."

When Enron was mentioned, Henrik's opponents also sighed.

Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.

Do you think she can develop to the level of Vesta?

Henrik replied, "It's hard to say. Vesta won't just stand by and watch her threaten his position."

"Too."

Vesta needs to maintain his dominant position in the mechanics industry. Once the Cult of Mechanics grows stronger, he will definitely not be able to resist taking action himself, rather than resorting to petty tricks as he is now.

"Hopefully we won't run into An Ran."

Henrik's opponent crossed his arms.

The expulsion operation against the banished empire is about to begin.

Although martial artists should have a courageous and forward-looking spirit, it's best to avoid encountering An Ran if possible.

Keynes and his men have proven this with their blood.

He doesn't think he's as good as Keynes.

Henrik said, "Don't worry too much. I estimate that her injuries haven't fully healed yet. That was divine punishment; how could she possibly have survived it so easily?"

"That's true."

After exiting the virtual training arena, Henrik began to recuperate.

Three hours left.

Three hours later, Henrik received the attack signal from the Grand Council.

"Ready to go."

The fleet that had been floating in the starry sky has awakened.

Like a giant dragon, it brandished its terrifying claws and charged toward the defensive line built by the exiled empire.

Henrik squinted.

He admitted that An Ran was stronger than him, but there was one thing others didn't know—

His strength is not limited to what he has shown.

This is an excellent opportunity to showcase your abilities.

He wants to gain more merits in this war and then climb higher on the eternal star path.

As the fleet began its attack on the Exiled Empire's defenses, Henrik took out the second miniature communicator embedded in his hand.

Send a message.

Crush.

Then, he unleashed his martial arts energy, soaring into the sky and charging towards the Exiled Empire's defenses.

All in one go.

……

"The opportunity has arrived."

Meanwhile, within the territory of the Eternal Star Road.

Upon receiving the message, the female mechanic, Charlene, turned to Leander, who was resting with his eyes closed, and spoke to him.

Leander suddenly opened his eyes, a snow-white light flashing in them.

"Contact the people over there," he said.

Charlene stood up: "Why are you always so cold?"

Leander didn't even bother to acknowledge her.

He walked past Charlene and initiated a communication request to the Chain of Judgment.

Charlene snapped, "Tell me, are you bewitched by that female demon?!"

"Oh."

Leander sneered.

"If you didn't have this kind of thinking, you wouldn't be so weak."

Charlene snorted angrily: "Am I that weak?"

"It's barely enough."

"you……"

"Quiet down."

Leander shouted.

At this moment, An Ran's figure appeared.

Charlene stomped her foot and ran off to contact the people hidden within the Eternal Star Road.

Leander shook his head silently.

Time was of the essence, and he had no time to discuss these things. He cut to the chase and said, "We are ready."

When should we begin?

"I am in a demonic form," An Ran asked.

"Five more days."

Five days later, the war between the Eternal Star Path and the Exiled Empire will be fiercely contested.

Even with their special means of travel, it would be difficult for them to be distracted by what was about to happen on the Zenith.

An Ran nodded: "I understand. Once you officially begin your operation, I will send a few members to restrain the people from Eternal Star Road."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

After cutting off contact with Leander, Enron immediately sprang into action.

First, they used a space passage to reach the territory of the Eternal Star Road.

Then, after traveling along several star paths, they arrived near Zenith.

During this period, Anran successfully constructed two spatial passages to facilitate evacuation.

Once all this was done, there was only half a day left before Silver Moonlight's operation.

"This is a good opportunity to deploy these automatic defense weapons."
